    Just had mine done by these guys http://www.alloycarecentre.co.uk/ The standard price was £260 + VAT but I also had to pay £45.00 for the special colour paint (which I now have)

    An update on # 008

    We're well on the way. New tyres are on the long list. The ones on the car are budget versions, but quite new and seem reasonably grippy in the dry at least.

    Brake discs and pads

    Of course you will get cracks radiating from the holes eventually, but unless you let the holes get clogged up with brake dust and / or you're on the brakes too long causing excessive heat build up it's not that much of a big deal. I can get 10 + days out of a pair of OE drilled front pads on my...

    Why not drilled?

    Brake discs and pads

    Have a look on Road Track Race Parts website, they have all the Brembo options. Not sure how effective grooved are, but drilled certainly reduces heat build up. It's definitely beneficial to to clean out the holes after each track day.

    Car Cover.

    Unless you're getting a load of tree sap or live near a quarry / cement works or similar, I would not bother. I had a Covercraft Noah on my GT3 on and off for a few years & eventually after a long period when the cover was wet it damaged the paint. The GT3 is under a Carcoon now as it doesn't...

    An update on # 008

    So I'm hopefully close to getting my Trophy pretty well sorted having acquired it in April. The front Sachs dampers were badly in need of a refurb, so Rentech took them out for me and fitted some loan dampers. They also fitted the set of Mark Fish springs I'd bought. The car drove miles better...

    Are you serious? Personally I think they look really cheap. So pretty strong money then.

    Mark Fish springs fitted - very pleased

    I had the front Sachs removed, loan dampers & a new set of Mark Fish springs fitted today by Rentech. What a massive improvement? Much firmer, but not too firm & massively more stable with no crashing on unavoidable minor potholes, or sunken manhole covers. Can't wait to see how much better...

    SACHS DAMPERS REBUILDS

    So, having trawled through this thread I'm still almost none the wiser as to what I should do? My dampers definitely need a refurb. Do I use BG, Cornering Force or Rik? Do I go for the compression adjuster upgrade & if so can all the above do this? What is de-pinning? Should I do it?

    Pioneer DEH 8400 BT Head Unit for sale

    This CD player, FM, USB, Aux, Bluetooth head unit with steering wheel controls was in my Trophy when I got it. I've now swapped for a DAB unit. We live in a relatively poor signal area but FM wasn't the best on this unit. It comes with everything in the 2nd photo, but no box or manual...

    Smaller Steering Wheel Options

    Thanks but no horn push hole on that one. Don't you need a horn to be road legal? Also do you need a boss? I don't want the wheel any close to me.
